"Women of Valor" Exhibition
Flomenhaft
This event has ended.
The Flomenhaft Gallery presents the art of two exciting women artists who dedicate their lives and work to the betterment of humanity.
Jaune Quick-to-See Smith is one of the most acclaimed American Indian artists today. She has been reviewed in all major art periodicals. Smith has had over 80 solo exhibits in the past 30 years, and has done numerous printmaking projects nationwide.With a unity of idea and material, Smith elaborates on her Native worldview, and addresses today's tribal politics, human rights and environmental issues with humor.
Since 9/11, female armored figures, which she dubs knights, appeared in Linda Stein’s sculptures. Sharing the grief, the vociferous outcry of all Manhattanites, their purpose, strong like bodyguards yet vulnerable, and often created from shards of urban detritus, is to protect. In addition to sculptures and interactive Wonder Woman-based collaged garments for guests to whirl in, a video based on Wonder Woman’s life enlivens the exhibit.
